Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
“I’ve not said that we should now focus on rejoining and I’m not saying that. We had a vote and we shouldn’t keep rerunning the arguments linked to that vote. We’ve got to focus relentlessly domestically. Let’s get this country functioning again… Let’s not worry then about our relationship with other places until we fix our own situation… I’m on the record as saying in my lifetime I would like to see us rejoin.” “The country has to fix itself… and that has got to be our relentless priority in the next 5 or 10 years that’s where we’ve got to focus, that’s what we’ve got to get right before we focus on our relationships with other places.”
